Investigators seek suspects in bridge vandalism
County schools approve budget
Boater captured images of suspects who damaged fence By MITCH SNEED Editor
Russell Lands Security and investigators with the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department are working on identifying a suspect in a vandalism case that has left a bridge with thousands of dollars worth of damage. On Sunday Sept. 4, a boater spotted two white males one adult and one that appeared to be a teen leave a boat of Lake Martin and climb up onto what is known as the Ridge Bridge. The witness said that it appeared that the older males damaged the ornamental fencing in order to allow access to the bridge for the teen to jump off the bridge and into the water. The damage to the fence is more than $6,000 according to Russell Lands Director of Security Mack Daugherty. “The witness advised that the adult male began attempting to pull down one of the railings, which is part of the safety fence constructed along each side of the bridge,” Daugherty said. “The witness advised that the destruction continued to the point that one complete section of the safety fence was completely destroyed. The younger male then proceeded to jump off the bridge, and the older adult male returned to the boat.” Fortunately for law enforcement, a boater spotted the activity and See BRIDGE • Page 6

Massive crowd packs VictoryLand’s reopening By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer
“The troopers just called and said that the exits are backed off onto the interstate,” attorney Joe Espy told Milton McGregor at approximately 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. “I came down the interstate and there was a line all the way,” said Tuskegee mayor Johnny Ford later in the afternoon. “I was rescued by a Shorter police car and escorted all the way in.” VictoryLand is back
in business more than three years after it was closed when state officials raided the Montgomery facility, seizing electronic bingo machines and cash. The facility celebrated a “soft opening” Tuesday with 510 electronic bingo machines and a host of guests, some – like Ford and former Auburn University football coach Pat Dye – there to celebrate with The crowd at Tuesday’s Victoryland reopenMcGregor and hundreds ing was so large that people often stood See VICTORYLAND • Page 5 three deep waiting on machines to play.

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education on Monday evening approved a $28.9 million budget for fiscal year 2017 at its meeting at the board’s Central Office in Dadeville. The budget includes $15.5 million in state funding, $10.2 million in local revenues and $3.2 million in federal funding. “This budget gets us back to 2008 levels,” said Phil Blasingame, chief financial office for Tallapoosa County Schools. “It took us eight years to get there and nothing costs the same as it did in 2008, of course. But we’re proud of this budget.” Blasingame pointed out that approximately $4.5 million of the local funds would be netted out of the state appropriation to cover the required 10-mill match for the state appropriation. The budget allocates $14.1 million for instructional services (largely employee salaries and benefits), approximately $4 million for auxiliary services (including See BUDGET • Page 11
19-year-old arrested in Kowaliga tomahawk theft By MITCH SNEED Editor
Submitted / The Outlook
SUPPORT YOUR NEIGHBORS!
Kowaliga the Indian’s tomahawk has been recovered and the person investigators believe is responsible for taking it has been arrested. Investigator Bill Wilson with the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department said that 19-year-old John Mason Friday has been charged with theft of property after evidence linked him to the theft of the tomahawk from the Kowaliga Restaurant on Sept. 4.
Security captured footage of a young man entering the lobby of the restaurant, looking around before plucking the tomahawk from the hand of the statue and then quickly leaving the restaurant. Russell Lands Security Chief Mack Daugherty said that investigators were able to identify Friday as being with a large group of people at the restaurant that day. Using credit card information from someone in the party, they were able to get names of those possibly involved. Wilson said the investigation was
still active and didn’t rule out additional charges if it is found that others played a role in the theft. The statue is a fixture at the restaurant where much of the décor is centered around Hank Williams and his ties to the area. It is said that Williams penned his hit Kaw-Liga while staying at a lake cabin that was then owned by Darwin Dobbs. The tomahawk is valued at $1,250 and Daugherty picked up the tomahawk Tuesday and returned it to the restaurant.

It has been in the shop more than it has been in the station in the last year. I am throwing it out there that it is a possibility that the ambulance is going See COUNCIL • Page 11

DEAR ABBY: I’m an educated, attractive 24-year-old woman who hasn’t dated much. I’m eager to break out of my shell and start putting myself out there, but I’m afraid my shyness may make me unapproachable. How do I strike up a pleasant conversation with a cute guy at the gym or a friendly customer at work? It looks easy in the movies, but this is real life. I don’t want my awkwardness to hold me back. Have you written anything about this? Can you give me some tips on how I can bring myself to be sociable? -- PERPETUAL NOVICE IN MINNESOTA DEAR NOVICE: Gladly. Start today by making a point of smiling and saying hello to everyone. It’s friendly and welcoming. At the gym, ask other members about their routine or the machines they’re using. When greeting a customer, lead off with a friendly remark or a com-

pliment. I have met very few people who don’t like receiving one, as long as it’s sincere. (“Nice shirt,” “Nice cellphone,” etc.) If you freeze up, keep in mind that the majority of people have the same insecurities that you do. My booklet “How to Be Popular” contains many useful tips for polishing social skills for people of all ages. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Please allow four to six weeks for delivery. A surefire way to contribute in any social situa-
tion is to be well-informed about what’s going on in the world. You do not have to be an authority on every subject. Good conversationalists are interested in what others have to say rather than feel pressured to fill the air with the sound of their own voices. And remember: Most people can concentrate on only one thing at a time. So forget about yourself and concentrate on the OTHER person. Ask about what he or she is interested in. If you try it, you’ll find that it works. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years. We have good conversations, and he would give me the world if I asked him to. He’s kind, gentle and helps me out financially. He opens the car door, cooks and cleans. Basically, he is what every woman wants. But ... he is lacking in the sex department. He had a groin injury as a child, and later, as an adult, he reinjured “it.” Viagra doesn’t help. He apologizes
when sex lasts less than five or 10 minutes. Sometimes “it” doesn’t work for a week or two. He says he loves me and wants to marry me. But I know I wouldn’t be completely happy if I married him. On the other hand, I’m afraid to lose such a good man. I don’t want to cheat on him, which is what he said most of his girlfriends have done in the past. What should I do? -- GREAT GUY, BUT -DEAR G.G.B.: What you should do is be honest with your boyfriend. Tell him it’s time for him to consult a urologist, if he hasn’t already, because there may be medical help for this. If there is, your problem is solved. If there isn’t, then you will have to prioritize what’s really important to you in a life partner.

Long-time Alabama mayors lose re-election bids
T
here is no truer adage in the political world than “all politics is local.” Therefore, the best politics and the best governing in the state is at the local level. The mayors of cities and towns throughout Alabama are the real governors of the state. Running a city is a full-time job. It is the where the rubber meets the road. They are the closest to the people. It is more important to the average voter whether their garbage has been picked up on time or their utility bill is too high than if we build a wall to keep Mexicans out of Texas or that Hillary Clinton hid her emails. These mayors get blamed for the garbage not being picked up on time and especially if their water bill is too high. There was a wholesale apple cart turnover and slaughter of iconic longterm mayors throughout the state with statewide municipal elections on Aug. 23. It was devastating in the Jefferson County suburbs. The veteran mayor of Hoover, Gary Ivey, lost 35 percent to 52 percent to former Hoover Fire Chief Frank Brocato. Two-term Vestavia Mayor, Butch Zaragoza, lost 43 percent to 57 percent to former FBI agent Ashley Curry. In Trussville, five-term Mayor Gene Melton lost big time. He got 25 percent of the vote running third to two City Councilmen, Buddy Choat (35 percent) and
STEVE FLOWERS Guest Columnist
Anthony Montalto (40 percent), who will be in a runoff. Legendary Tuskegee Mayor Johnny Ford fell to City Council President Tony Haygood, 38 percent to 62 percent. The Selma mayoral race was a real donnybrook. In a five-person contest, the incumbent Mayor George Evans finished third with only 18 percent of the vote. State Representative Darrio Melton and former Mayor James Perkins are headed for an Oct. 4 runoff with Melton leading. In Alexander City, incumbent Mayor Charles Shaw barely got into a runoff with James Nabors, who led 47 percent to 20 percent. In Hamilton, Mayor Wade Williams got trounced. Bob Page beat him 63 percent to 24 percent. Hamilton has not had a mayor to win a second term in 24 years. In Demopolis, incumbent Mayor Mike Grayson was trampled by John Laney 63 percent to 15 percent. That is taking someone to the woodshed. In one of Alabama’s fastest growing cities, Fairhope, four-term incumbent Mayor Tim Kant lost to bookstore owner Karin Wilson, who qualified the last day on a lark. In short, a host of
incumbent mayors bit the dust and they fell hard. However, some popular incumbent mayors won reelection handily on Aug. 23. Opelika Mayor Gary Fuller waltzed to an impressive victory garnering 80 percent of the vote. In Prattville, incumbent Mayor Bill Gillespie trounced his opposition with a record 92 percent of the vote. Popular young Troy Mayor Jason Reeves got an impressive 73 percent of the vote over two opponents and reelection to his second term. Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis won a third term. He got 65 percent of the vote in his reelection bid. Jim Lowery, the longtime mayor of Fultondale won 58 percent to 42 percent. Enterprise Mayor Kenneth Boswell beat two opponents without a runoff. The biggest victory of any incumbent mayor came in one of Alabama’s top three metropolitan areas. Huntsville is one of the state’s largest cities and the fastest growing. Incumbent Mayor Tommy Battle won with 82 percent of the vote. This will probably catapult him into the 2018 Governor’s Race. Several popular mayors were unopposed. One was the very able mayor of Andalusia, Earl Johnson. All of the aforementioned mayoral incumbent victors are leading cities that are thriving and growing exponentially. There will be some

good runoffs on Oct. 4. Most notably in Ozark between Mike Barefield and Bob Bunting where only 39 votes separated them. Forty-year veteran Mayor Jimmy Ramage stepped down as mayor of Brundidge. There will be a runoff election between Cynthia Pearson and Isabell Boyd, which will be interesting. The Luverne runoff election between Alan Carpenter and Ed Beasley will be close with only 12 votes separating them. It has been a very good year for local politics in the Heart of Dixie. See you next week.

hungry to gamble. “Huge day,” said McGregor. “We put people back to work. We’re paying charities and we’re getting treated fairly for a change. We’ve been mistreated long enough.” The “mistreatment” has largely come at the hands of former Gov. Bob Riley and current Attorney General Luther Strange who have contended that VictoryLand’s machines were not electronic bingo machines. McGregor says he thinks the days of state interference are over because his machines have been certified as genuine video bingo machinges by a top testing lab. “We’re legal,” McGregor said. “It’s been proven without a shadow of a doubt with these machines. The top testing laboratory in the world, BMM, tested every machine on this floor and certified for the manufacturer that they’re bona fide electronic bingo machines, not slot machines. And then, the manufacturer certified, as demonstrated to the sheriff, that they comply with every rule and regulation that he’s established. And he’s the only person on earth that can establish the rules and regulations, the sheriff, by the Constitution of Alabama. “You can’t get no more legal than that. We’ve got over $200 million invested here. We’re not going to do anything that’s not legal.” As visitors milled throughout the area where the machines were operating, many were unable to immediately find one free, demonstrating to McGregor that, despite more than three years closed, the demand for the entertainment he provides has not diminished. According to Mike Perrin, who does public relations work for McGregor, two ladies were so excit-

ed about the reopening that they were at the facility at 2 a.m. Tuesday morning “because they wanted to be the first ones in.” As McGregor talked to a reporter, one by one patrons would come by and speak to him, often expressing how happy they were to see him back in business. McGregor said plans were to expand the number of electronic bingo machines and, eventually, to reopen The Oasis, the hotel that sits on the VictoryLand property. He could not say when either might happen. Right now, McGregor is obviously pleased to be open with the machines currently operating, but, judging from the crowd, more will be needed sooner rather than later. He’s also happy to be providing some 275 jobs to the people of Macon County and surrounding area. “Anytime you can play a part in
putting people back to work, that makes you feel good,” McGregor said. McGregor said that what bothered him most about the entire last three years is that he was mistreated. “People realize what’s happened to us is wrong,” McGregor said. “We’ve been treated different from the Native Americans. I’m not opposed to the Native Americans, I’m opposed to being mistreated.” Tuskegee’s Ford said it was persistence that got McGregor to this point. “This is a great day for Macon County,” Ford said. “It’s a sign of hope for us here. Mr. McGregor has shown that if you are persistent, if you don’t give up and if you don’t give out, you can be successful.” Later, McGregor retreated to Luigi’s Ice Cream Shoppe inside the facility and enjoyed a banana split. One way to be sure not to be mistreated is to treat yourself.

Churchill PBS special was entertaining, informative
W
e finally got the rains, which gave relief for the growing things,and helped cool us down as well. If you missed the story about Sir Winston Churchill on Public Television this past Sunday, you missed an excellent historical piece of entertainment. I knew Churchill was a great and very smart man, but he was thoughtful and determined for the Brits. I wrote a letter to Donald Trump this past week, telling him how unfair I think it is for illegal immigrants to get so many handouts and help with everything when those who emigrate the proper and legal way (including me) are forgotten. We all should be treated the
same – fairly. To hear that Mrs. Clinton said that “Half of Trump’s supporters belong in a basket of deplorables,” which means you and me plus the 88 generals who are with Trump. I don’t think I am deplorable, always trying to be a good and fair person in all I do. I know she seemed to just get angry and lose control, but I say how dare she say I am a racist, gun-toting, bible beater, deplorable, and un-American. As we came to and passed the 15th year after the terrible felling of the twin towers in New York, thank goodness nothing vicious came about; although it is enough that all of us as a country are afraid when that date comes, staying fearful of savage radicals.

know everyone recalls where they were and how they felt as they watched the crashes on the news. I had gone to England for my brother’s wedding the previous Saturday and stood in my cousin’s home as we watched the news update on the planes crashing into the towers. Everywhere I went for the next several days this event was all folks were discussing and I was wondering if I could get back here to Alabama on my pre-booked original flight. It is really nice to be in a small town. You usually see someone
you know. This week seeing James Turner, he is always a breath of fresh air. Then later having quite a long chat with a young lady about my knitting to learn that she was the daughter of the late Dr. Natali, working for him when I was his patient about 15 years ago. Then seeing Rita Barry after not seeing her for a long time. She is still on the committee for the Alex City Arts and has been there since her late husband got it started many years ago. The new season begins in about a month. More on the performances will be upcoming. One of the best detective and mystery writers of all time, Agatha Christie, was born on Sept. 15, 1890.

began to take pictures. “There were at least three other people on the boat,” Daugherty said. “An adult female actually laid down in the boat in an obvious attempt to avoid being photographed. The adult male, who had actually destroyed the bridge property, waved at the witness while he was being photographed.” The photographs also featured the boat’s registration number and Daugherty along with Investigator Bill Wilson with the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department have been working interviewing witnesses and identifying the suspects. Wilson said he hopes to be able to secure warrants for the suspects, who are from the Birmingham area. “I have been in law enforcement for over 32 years and 23 of those as Chief of Security with Russell Lands,” Daugherty said. “I never cease to be amazed at how someone can come to one of the most beautiful lakes in the country for the supposed purpose of enjoying the lake and at the same time intentionally destroy property on and around the lake. “We plan to prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law, to include charges for criminal trespass second degree and criminal mischief first degree, which is a Class C felony.”

Group planning to create recipe booklet
T
he Alexander City Parks & Recreation 50+ has come to realize that interesting events tend to happen when either going to the Catfish House or to visit the Raptor Center. If you ask anyone that has gone to either of those places with ACPR 50+, well, let’s just say that it would certainly make an out of the ordinary conversation. Yes, Roger Pasley, it would not be the same if you didn’t go on the next outing to the Raptor Center! Quotes and Recipe group met on Sept. 7. It was a delightful gathering where we shared recipes and funny quotes with each other. We are going to start working on creating a simple recipe booklet with all the wonderful recipes that we have been collecting over the past year. The group will meet again at

The group is asking that you deliver baked goods on Friday, Oct. 7 between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon at the Activity Center. Please, bring items in containers that you no longer wish to keep. Also, no cutting and bagging is required of you, just whole-pan treats will do. Thanks

CACC FALL BALL UNDERWAY ANDY GRAHAM Columnist
AU demolishes Redwolves ... Aggies await
I
’ve searched diligently to no avail seeking to find out who exactly “they” are and why they always have so much to say about every subject under the guise of anonymity. Football is actually one of the preferred topics of discussion for “they” and you’ll hear their pearls of wisdom repeated every Saturday on a television broadcast. “They say defense wins championships.” “They say no pain, no gain.” Sure, a lot of what “they” say is overtly cliché. However, “they” are also famous for saying that a football team makes the biggest improvement between week one and week two. I’d grudgingly have to classify that as brilliant analysis when it comes to the Auburn Tigers. After struggling to a paltry 38 total yards in the first half against Clemson in week one, the Tigers exploded for 453 total yards in the first half against Arkansas State in week two. Auburn would go on to tally 706 total yards and 51 points never punting a single time. I know, I know, the opponent was vastly inferior, but an offensive outburst like that was just what the doctor ordered for the confidence-impaired Tigers. Remember, this is the same Auburn team (with several new players) that needed overtime to beat Jacksonville State last season. It’s been over a year since the Tigers’ offense looked this potent and even longer since the last truly dominant win. I don’t care if it was a Sun Belt team. Gus Malzahn needed that performance. The players needed that performance. For goodness sake, I needed that performance. The opponent notwithstanding, why did Auburn look so much better? Well, I think it might have had something to do with abandoning the five stooges (yes, that’s right Gus even included Shemp and Joe) approach at quarterback. Sean White looked like the guy I thought he was capable of being. He was comfortable. He threw the ball well and even ran with somewhat surprising efficiency. Clearly, Auburn has significant talent at the wide receiver position that it must exploit as the season progresses. The offensive line was much better and the running backs appear to be SEC quality. Again, I realize the opponent makes a big difference, but Auburn is a different team with White under center (or in shotgun as the case may be). Of course, the week one game plan now frustrates me even more. Obviously, Coach Malzahn threw up a white flag before the season even started not believing his team had any chance of defeating Clemson by conventional means. I know “they” say “hindsight is 20/20,” but that assumption has already been proven erroneous. I’d like a do over against Clemson using this week’s game plan. Seeing how Dabo’s Tigers are struggling, I like Auburn’s chances. Oh well, you know what “they” say “don’t cry over spilt milk.” If you call to remembrance my preview of the Auburn schedule, I said that the Texas A&M game was the most important of the season. I still believe that to be true. The Tigers have lost their last six matchups against Power-5 conference schools in Jordan Hare Stadium. That streak must end now. The Aggies are a good team with comparable talent, but Auburn must find a way to win. Hammering the Red Wolves was a nice shot in the arm, but this weekend will have serious ramifications on the rest of the season and maybe even Malzahn’s AU career. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

Trojans baseball hosts three-day CACC Fall Classic By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Central Alabama College Fall Classic kicks off today and baseball games run through Friday. The tourney begins at 1 p.m. today with CACC taking on Andrew College. After Andrew faces Shelton later in the day, the Trojans then match up against Shelton State at 7 p.m. today. After a day of play on Thursday featuring Wallace Hanceville, Snead State and Faulkner State, the Trojans take to the field again on Friday. CACC starts the day by facing Lawson State at 9 a.m. Their final game Friday is at 2 p.m. against Calhoun. Friday’s additional lineup include games with Jeff Davis and Wallace Dothan. Although Friday is the last day the Trojans play at home this fall, they practice at 2 p.m. every Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. each Friday. CACC kicked off its fall
baseball season Sunday in the Troy University JUCO Tourney. The Trojans lost to Shelton State and a four-inning game against Wallace Hanceville. However, the day gave new head coach Larry Thomas an idea of what to expect from his team. “Our pitching and defense went really well,” he said. “I was really impressed with the way the boys handled themselves.” Thomas said it’s to be expected that batting will be a little off on the first day of the season. “In the beginning they came out a little timid,” he said. “But then toward the end of the game it got a little better. So I saw a lot of good things and I saw a lot of things we need to work on.” The Trojans’ 2016-17 season lineup includes 18 returning players. “And we’ve got a couple of transfers,” Thomas said. He pointed out that each year brings new challenges and
expectations. That’s especially true with a new head coach. “What they were doing before is definitely different than what they’re doing now,” Thomas said. That difference has taken some getting used to. “At first I think they were a little overwhelmed,” Thomas said. “It’s a lot of information and quick. But I think they’re getting used to it.” Although the coach keeps in mind the fact that his athletes are still 18 and 19 years old, he is setting the standard for the Trojans high. “I try to treat them like when I played in professional baseball,” Thomas said of his three years as a pitcher with the Chicago White Sox. With that high standard in mind, the coach is spending the fall evaluating his team, making sure each member is in the right position. That will set the stage for the Trojans to come out fighting in the spring season, which includes 18 home games.
Tennis team hosts Huntington today By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Central Alabama Community College Tennis Team plays its only match game of the fall season today at 4 pp.m. against g Huntington. T h e remainder of CACC’s fall matches are on the road. The nine-member team includes two Alexander City residents, freshmen Shelly Humphrey and Hope McBride.

to go away because we can’t keep funding it the way it’s going.” Currently the New Site Volunteer Fire Department runs an ambulance service that serves the northeast part of Tallapoosa County. McKelvey explained the financial situation. “Repairs and maintenance on it since we bought it have been $13,739.19,” McKelvey said. “Another $11,300 is for supplies and we have managed to make in the last five years $6,248. Insurance is $7,558 a year. So far this year we have spent $1,800 in fuel. We have collected $7,000 in fire dues and these dues are running the fire department and ambulance. The fundraisers we have had have mainly come from the car show. I have matched that money through the commission office.” Council member Mickey Carter asked if the department could staff an ambulance.
“We have the people to respond at night and weekends, that is not the big issue,” McKelvey said. “The big issue is having the a piece of equipment to respond with.” The ambulance is only funded by the town of New Site currently but serves the towns of Daviston and Goldville. “We started applying for grants two years ago to replace the ambulance,” McKelvey said. “We have been denied on every one of them. The reason for it, if you pull our census, our median income is $40,000 per household. They will not give us grants on that. We will keep applying for them. They say the higher income communities will be the last to get grants.” Part of the issue gets to billing and currently with volunteers the window for billing the likes of Medicaid, Medicare and other insurance companies is missed due to volunteers having other
Budget excess of expense documentation was $357.28, an amount that was repaid the board by the employee. • Failure to follow the state bid process on the purchase of a used pickup truck for $23,835.65. • A prohibited use of money from the public school fund to cover a cash deficit balance of $383,564.81 in the general fund bank account. • Failure to return to the Education Trust Fund allocations for classroom instructional support not spent during the year, as required by state law. The school system was allocated $58,707 and spent only $30,842.68 and did not return the excess to the state. After Morris’ report, the board adopted a threepage corrective action plan outlining ways the findings have been or will be addressed. In other actions: • The board recognized Horseshoe Bend High School FCCLA advisor Felecia Williams and five of her students who won gold or silver awards at the organization’s 2016 National Leadership Conference in San Diego, California. The students were Cheyenne Peppers (Gold), Nathan Wilson (Gold), Abby Hadaway (Gold), Baylor Turner (Silver) and Erica Bryan (Silver).

obligations. The idea of pulling the ambulance and putting it under the city was mentioned to allow someone to do the billing. No decision was made as to how to handle the ambulance service. Town Clerk Shelia Fuller presented an early version of the new budget for council members to review. “This is very close to last year’s budget,” Fuller said. “There are some changes but nothing major.” The council will look over the budget to discuss it more at its next meeting. The New Site Council also: • Approved paying to send newly elected officials to an Orientation Conference. • Approved paying off a note on an excavator for the water department that is just over $13,000. • Approved a resolution allowing the mayor
to sign a document going to the state that the town does not issue nonresidential building permits. • Approved extra pest control services at town hall. • Heard that Town Attorney Mack Clayton is still reviewing a lease agreement on the current
cellular-communications tower. • Heard from the water department about the need for a water meter to be used at fire hydrants where contractors are purchasing water. The next meeting of the New Site Council is Sept. 26 at 5 p.m.

The board also heard from Nicki Morris of the state Department of Examiners of Public Accounts on the school system’s audit for fiscal year 2015. The report included six findings related to: • Child Nutrition deposits not made in a timely manner. • A variety of problems with the school system’s general fund, capital projects fund, debt service fund and the failure to enter expenditures into accounting software at Edward Bell Career Technical Center. All except the situation at Edward Bell were corrected through the audit process. • The board’s reimbursement of an employee for alcohol and entertainment expenses incurred during an out-of-state trip not approved by the superintendent.
